Entering 2009’s Texas vs Baylor matchup, Mack Brown had never lost to the Bears, enduring an 11 game winning streak. When the game took place in Waco, the Longhorns were winning by an average of 48.0 points.

That season would be no different, as the eventual Big 12 champions embarrassed the hosts, 47-14. All 14 of Baylor’s points were scored in the latter half of the fourth quarter after the backups were already in.

Winning the game itself was nothing special. The 2009 Texas team was punishing teams week in and week out. Outside of the Red River Shootout against Oklahoma, no regular-season game was decided by less than 10 points.

What made it an important day was Colt McCoy tying the NCAA record for the most wins as a starting quarterback. Since the day McCoy started as a true freshman in 2006, all he did was win. After the Baylor game, he possessed a 42-7 record.

Winning four out of four games against the Bears in his career, Oklahoma State is the only other school to suffer the same fate. McCoy dominated Baylor every single year, throwing for 14 touchdowns over the four years.

As for the game itself, McCoy finished with 181 passing yards and two touchdowns on 23 of 34 passing. He connected with his roommate and go to target Jordan Shipley six times for 46 yards and both touchdowns.

Here are the game highlights:

McCoy would go on to win three more games in the 2009 season to finish to set the record for the most NCAA wins as a starting quarterback with 45. It would stand for two seasons until Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore won 50 games and only lost three.

Texas Longhorns Football: Three things to know about Baylor

Texas is looking to get its season back on the right track on Saturday. Here are three things you need to know about its matchup vs Baylor:

Texas is looking to get its season back on the right track on Saturday, hosting first year head coach Dave Aranda and the Baylor Bears. It has been multiple weeks since either team has played, with the Longhorns have a bye week and the Bears dealing with coronavirus complications.

While this will be the first time Aranda faces Texas as a head coach, the former LSU defensive coordinator came to Austin last season and pulled out a 45-38 win. He will be no stranger to the challenges the Longhorns can present on the offensive side of the ball.

For Tom Herman, he has won two out of his three matchups against Baylor. His sole loss came last season in Waco, ending Texas’ Big 12 championship hopes in a 24-10 disappointment.

Both teams can still contend for a conference title and it will begin with a win on Saturday. Here are three things you need to know about Texas vs Baylor:

Postgame Report: Texas demolished by Baylor, 24-10

The Texas Longhorns dropped another game against the Baylor Bears today, losing 24-10

Going into today’s matchup with Baylor, this was a chance to earn a little bit of redemption for the Longhorns. After an overall disappointing season, this was a chance for Texas to right the ship or show some progress. Instead, the Baylor Bears embarrassed the Longhorns. Though the score doesn’t imply a blowout, Texas was never in control and the lone touchdown on the day came in garbage time on a 4-yard Daniel Young run.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger finished the game with 22/37 passing for 200 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. He added 19 attempts on the ground for 79 yards in one of the worst performances of the year. Devin Duvernay picked up where he left off, catching 10 passes for 78 yards.

Texas played a sloppy game, reflected in the three unsportsmanlike penalties they accrued in the second half. Frustration is to be expected, but repeated offenses like that can call coaching into question.

The standout performer for the Longhorns was running back Keaontay Ingram, who finished the game with 7 rushes for 86 yards. Ingram came up with the best play of the game for Texas, and one of a very small handful of highlights. With 18 seconds before halftime, Texas was down 7-0 to the Baylor Bears and backed up to its own end zone. The Longhorns hand the ball off to Keaontay Ingram to run the clock down and head to the locker room, but Ingram takes it 68 yards into field goal range with 4 seconds on the clock. Check out the long run here:

After that long run put Texas in field goal range, Cameron Dicker hit the field goal to put points on the board and head into the locker room down 7-3:

Injury Alert: DeMarvion Overshown out for the remainder of the game

Texas Longhorns DB DeMarvion Overshown will not return

In a tough game for Texas, the hits just keep on coming. Earlier, Keaontay Ingram got injured on what would be the best play of the game for the Longhorns’ offense. Ingram injured his ankle and will not return. Now, DB DeMarvion Overshown is also out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury.

Texas hasn’t gotten anything going, and Baylor is having it’s way with the Longhorns, as the Bears lead 24-3 in the fourth quarter. If you aren’t doing anything anyway and want to check out the end of the game, Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream.

More unfortunate news for the Texas Longhorns. On his 68-yard run to put Texas in field goal range at the end of the first half, Keaontay Ingram injured his ankle and Texas announced that he will not return to the game. Roschon Johnson is used to stepping up, so hopefully he can provide the energy the Longhorns need to come back from a two-score deficit in the second half.

A win here against the Bears gives Texas something to build on going forward and represents some movement in the right direction after a season that has not gone according to plan. Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream the game.

Texas didn’t play a great first half. The offense never got into rhythm, and continuously stalled on drive after drive. Keaontay Ingram put the team on his back as he gashed the Baylor defense for 68-yards to give Cameron Dicker (the kicker) a shot to put the Longhorns on the board. Dicker predictably knocks it through, and Texas heads into the locker room for the half down 7-3 to the Baylor Bears.
